What exactly are the SRPMS downloads as compared to i386…I know what RPMs are [how could I not] but what are these other files?

The SRPMS contain the source files needed to recompile the programs available in the i386 isos. You can use rpmbuild --rebuild somepackage.src.rpm or you can use rpm -ivh packagename.src.rpm , then edit the .spec file so you can end up with a rpm file with some specific options (like I used to do with the amanda packages , as it uses the amanda user , but we had a real user called amanda.. so I had to rebuild the rpms with the backup user...)..

If you dont like recompiling , then you'll only need the i386 cds..
